New Delhi, India Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Full time

**The Foundation**

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

**The Team**

The India Office Measurement, Learning and Evaluation (MLE) team generates, synthesizes, and mobilizes insights from rigorous data-driven research and evaluation to inform and improve the foundation’s strategy and portfolio of investments to achieve our mission. We promote the use of evaluation across the strategy life cycle to provide insights on how best to achieve desired outcomes in specific contexts; what are the intended and unintended consequences of current approaches; and what needs to be adjusted to improve the likelihood of achieving and sustaining goals. The MLE team’s work has two core parts: internal engagement in support of the success of our program strategies and external engagement to strengthen the data, evidence and evaluation ecosystem.

On the internal front, the MLE team, as part of the India Country Office’s (ICOs) business team, works closely with the strategy, portfolio planning & management, and program administration functions to support program teams in developing, adapting, and implementing their strategies. At the core of the internal role is being a “critical friend” - a trusted source of support and advice and a constructive critic, who elevates the probability of programmatic success. MLE officers help program and business teams to examine outcomes at the level of portfolios and investments from multiple points of view, identify alternative/more effective ways to achieve goals, and anticipate and mitigate potential risks, taking into account political economy and other factors.

On the external front, the MLE team builds relationships with grantees and data and evidence ecosystem partners (in government, academia, etc.); fosters partnerships, capacities, and networks for evaluation; and maintains a dynamic understanding of the political, social and cultural context that the foundation’s strategies and programs need to navigate to be successful and sustainable.

Application deadline - 17th April 2023

**Your Role**

The Program Officer (PO) will lead MLE in support of one or more of the India Country Office’s (ICO's) health, sanitation, agricultural development or financial inclusion program areas, leading a portfolio of investments and relationships.

The position will report to the ICO Senior Program Officer - Measurement, Learning & Evaluation.

**What You’ll Do**

Areas of deep engagement will include:

- Partnering with program and business teams as a “critical friend”_: The PO will work in an embedded fashion with select program teams to identify MLE priorities including key learning questions; shape and design learning and evaluation plans, including theories of change and portfolio
- Developing and managing investments (grants and contracts)_: The PO will handle a portfolio of MLE investments in support of one or more programmatic areas of work; cross-cutting themes of focus include gender, change in complex dynamic systems, equity, and sustainability. The PO will design (scope of work, budget, deliverables, competitive/multi-sourcing processes) and lead investments often in collaboration with program colleagues, and support grantees for high quality implementation. The PO will also support partners to capture and communicate insights, innovations and lessons learned to inform the work of the Foundation teams and external partners.
- Strengthening research and evaluation capacities_: The PO will help strengthen the use of data and evidence internally and by the broader ecosystem, serving as a point of contact on data and evidence in select program areas for internal and external partners. The PO is expected to track and communicate trends in specific program areas and identify and pursue opportunities for strengthening the practice of evaluation and evidence use in those areas. The PO is also expected to engage in professional networking, actively follow the scientific literature, and nurture connections within scientific networks and communities of practice.

**Your Experience**
- Master’s degree in a field related to public health, data science, evaluation or development economics.
- Minimum of five years' experience in program evaluation, ideally in
